You don't see Scorsese calling press conferences to discredit something Ebert and Roeper said do you?

Of course not. The only taste those two have is Scorsese's ass in their mouths from constant ass-kissing. However, I digress :D
I must've been having a blackout when I first responded here. Let me try more of the usual rhetoric instead.
Shanks said he didn't read your other reviews in all likelihood because he wasn't that interested. He surely didn't ask you to post them for him. Know why ? People here hate noobs who come here with the sole purpose of spamming. Whining about a bad review probably isn't going to win you over any fans here either. Be glad Staci even bothered to watch your film, much less review it. Didn't care for her criticism ? Too bad. That goes with the territory. You should know that. Coming here just to call her out on it and spamming with all the review taglines of what she was "supposed" to write is uncalled for to say the least. In fact I'd say it was rather pompous and rude. You're not some 16 year old who just shot your backyard epic on your parents camcorder. Have some integrity. Claiming her review was "all wrong" because she didn't correctly report the number of scenes of someone or what kind of genres a distribution company releases doesn't change a thing. The bottom line is still the same: SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT. Why should she have to "do her homework" and "a google search" about it ? Maybe if she enjoyed it, she would have to see what other films you/your company have made. I would guess that you have some of those wonderful review taglines on the box cover. Fangoria, BloodyDisgusting, ArrowInTheHead, etc are all horror review sites, correct ? Why wouldn't someone reading that get the assumption this is a horror film when you/ your company were the ones who decide what would be printed on that box ? Simple. Marketing. Case in point: You listed her review as saying (and I'm directly quoting this off your post): “…..Comparable to GARDEN STATE…...”
HORROR.COM
Hey, for someone who's a fan of that, it must mean this film is pretty good, huh ? WRONG !
"If Lightning Bug were being marketed as a drama, I might sorta-kinda compare it to 2004’s acclaimed Garden State (though Garden State has more artistic flair and better dialogue than Lightning Bug, for me it had the same tedious feel to it)" was the real quote. I notice you conveniently forgot to include the lack of artistic flair, bad dialogue and tedious part. You obviously tried to manipulate what was said to make your film seem more palatable. If I had any inclination to "do my homework" and a "google search", I don't think I'd be surprised to find out all the "glowing" reviews (bad pun not intended) might also have similar omissions. You know what really gives me that idea ? A lot of "..." going on. "..." usually signals that something not in the film's best interest was there originally. Want an example ? Let's sat I saw your film (which I won't) and my one sentence review was "This film is super crappy and a bigger waste of my time than the 'Star Wars' opening trilogy". "..." can be used to make it sound like a good thing such as "This film is super...bigger... than 'Star Wars' ". That's pretty clever, huh ?
Let's face it. You used quotes from horror sites (most likely in a misleading manner) in order to get horror fans to get your film. One happens to write reviews and says it's not a horror film. You show up quick enough to point out "her" error. She still gave your film a fair review even though it was unfairly marketed to her as being something it wasn't. You should probably thank her for being kind enough to even mention the good things about the film and call it a day.
Besides, you're now an annoying, spamming and (drumroll, please...) WHINING noob. I haven't even made a pic for such an event so I'll just throw you one of my usual:
